This is a lovely home and event facility that deserves to be enjoyed by everyone. My husband and I first went for an anniversary getaway and really had a chance to relax. Our church ladies have now been there a couple of times for Sharon's wonderful teas that she puts on for us and special event luncheons that she hosted for us in the ""carriage house"". There are so many places to just sit and relax that you can't possibly do all of them in one visit. There's the lovely view across the grounds and vistas beyond that you can enjoy from the 2nd floor library over the carriage house, the porches, the gazebo, the firepit, the swings, the house tower... Each room in the B&B has unique seating areas with oodles of worldly collections that Sharon and her husband gathered over the years. If you enjoy reading, you won't ever want to leave the enormous library. Don't be afraid to ask Sharon for a tour as she can relate their world travels and history of various pieces. There is a outdoor spa room with hot tub, but ask first as the hot tub is not in service year-round. We stay at B&Bs a couple of times a year all over the country and have found this to be a unique experience.\r

I just booked our next visit and am counting the hours. One thing we appreciated was the space the innkeeper gives her guests to just roam about on their own. Go with an open mind, pack some friendly smiles, and prepare to relax. Sharon works very hard to keep up with the Inn on her own since her husband suddenly passed away as they were looking forward to their retirement years running the Inn together. I can't imagine doing that. It's a good value too.\r

We highly recommend a restaurant ""The Mustard Seed"" in nearby South Dayton NY. Sharon recommended that to us on our first visit to the B&B and we have made the 45 minute drive from our home many times to go back to that restaurant with friends and family. Dinner reservations are recommended. Unique food - lots of it - and a warm atmosphere with friendly staff. There are closer family restaurants in Cherry Creek also.
